Muntadhar al-Zaidi’s now-legendary flying shoes made headlines in the Arab world after the Iraqi journalist registered his disapproval of George W. Bush’s foreign policy choices during the U.S. president’s news conference in Baghdad on Sunday. As Link TV reported Monday, al-Zaidi’s gesture was widely viewed in and around Iraq as an unmistakable show of defiance and outrage, despite Bush’s assertion that al-Zaidi—a broadcast television reporter for Iraqi channel Al-Baghdadia—“wanted to get on TV and he did.”
And watch the man on the street pass out sweets to the Iraq citizens in their cars that represented celebration and pride of the young journalist's actions.

The shoe man could bring down the Iraq Government if they don't let him out. They know he's right but want to show Bush their doing something. Look for the guards who beat the shoe man to be missing soon. The Shoe Man spoke up for what every Iraq citizen feels in their heart, even the Leaders feel the same but their getting kick backs to go along with the US. 200 lawyers have volunteered their service and 100 US lawyers are willing to do the same. This man is a Hero for all who speak Truth.
